Strictly Star Kai Widdrington goes back to his roots for Sun footie campaign
But he still remembers his time on the pitch with pride, and wowed a group of kids with his football skills thanks to The Sun.Kai told The Sun: “Football has always been a part of my life and to see younger generations still loving it is incredible.The Latin and ballroom star, 28, was joined by his dad Tommy, 52, who manages Aldershot Town, and brother Theo, 25, a professional player and midfielder at the club.
“A lot of the people I played grassroots with have gone on to coach at their local clubs and some, like my brother, play professionally.“In my case, my dad lives, eats and breathes football. I was lucky to have a parent who played football professionally.“But we’re all here because we love the game, same for the coaches and the kids.
The club also have a hardship fund to ensure any families who are struggling don’t have to remove their kids from sessions. Despite some initial nerves when the Widdringtons arrived, it didn’t take long before Rari, seven, made a beeline to Theo to ask him: “How many keepie-uppies can you do?”.But Theo didn’t take long to display his tekkers and give tips.“When you’re this age there is nothing better than going out and scoring goals with your mates.“These kids are learning life lessons, respect, dedication and an appreciation of team-mates — all while having a really fun time.
